I sometimes get chilly and cold. I was wondering if anyone else had this problem I am week 13. Just get cold sometimes and takes a while to warm up

A few others have posted about being cold. I have found that I'm cold also, and I asked my physician about it. He said that they (the bariactric medical community) does not have an answer as to why some patients are cold, but told me to purchase a fleece because I will probably get good use out of it.

having low iron is common after wls. that is why you are cold most likely.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say its because you are not as "well insulated" as you used to be. I think it has to do with the change in our skin as well.

With that being said, I FREEZE! I always have a jacket or a sweater handy, and have learned to lightly layer my clothing, so that I dont look like a tard with my hands in my shirt ;

I'm only a week out and I am freezing all the time! I used to always make my hubby turn down the temp and now I'm begging him to turn it up! lol I even wore a thick robe over sweats and a long sleeve shirt today (thermostat at 72)!

I am also cold, but it is way better than power surges (hot flashes).

LOL! That is exactly what I am wearing now! I am one week post-op and cold a lot.

Well, it's nice to know I'm not alone! lol I'm so miserable my hubby offered to turn it up...but 74 degrees is ridiculous!

I am always cold. Wish I knew why. Hope it gets better in time.

I don't think it does as I still freeze daily at almost 6 months. One of the 1-3 years vets might have a better answer.
